onsemi 20-SOIC 74F245SCX

The 74F245SCX is an octal non-inverting, three-state transceiver IC from the 74F series designed for bus-compatible bi-directional data transmission. It features eight channels that can simultaneously transmit or receive data and has tri-state outputs allowing connection to a shared bus. With its high-speed performance, it's suitable for interfacing between systems with differing voltage levels or driving long buses in microprocessor-based applications like those involving 8086 architecture. The device is capable of sinking significant current and typically used for level shifting and buffering on digital communication lines.
